Getting Down

I've started the 17 day diet (again).  Last year did well, got down a few pounds, then moving kind of through things for a loop and I went back to where I had begun.  I've lost ten pounds so far in about a month's time.  I will continue on until I reach my goal this year.  I haven't started to detrash yet, but I do need to get on that project also.  We need to find doctor's, ect. in our new location.  That is one reason why moving is such a pain.  I will travel back to SC to go to the dentist as he has one more cracked tooth to crown and I should be good to go.  Also, going back twice a year isn't such a bad thing.  I can visit and arrange my appointment so that I can also join the girls on Knit Night. 

Almost finished my mohair sweater, but ran out of yarn.  Waiting to hear from someone that is selling two skeins so that I can complete it.  There is so much fuzz and color that dye lots won't matter.  I did start on a new cowl.  Another goal is to use up a lot of my yarn stash and my fabric stash.

 I may cover the couch with a beige linen type upholstery fabric and then use the pieces of fabric that I had purchased for bags to use on the back cushions.  Even if we get a new couch, this one can be used in John's den.  I guess eventually we will need to buy another bed as a guest bed-probably a double bed so that it would be big for one person and adequate for two and not take up the entire room.  Or, we can get a sleep sofa, or use the airbed.  I guess we could always get a quality queen size airbed, so it wouldn't take up any space.  I'm not sure who would come to visit us anyways.  At least until we actually purchase a home.
